I think this is the first time I've ever heard of Charlie having a sibling.

I believe that’s the first we’ve read that he died from heart surgery complications?
Keith said it was cancer in the CBS interview this year.Quote

i think it was rumoured last year
as long with him contracting covid after the surgery
which might explain keith's comments about him getting hit with the double wammy

Keith's "double whammy" statement doubtless is true. But about cancer he clearly said only that Charlie overcame it again a year or so before. He didn't clearly say cancer recurred in 2021.
Leaving us with, as I read the fragments, Keith's "double whammy" possibly having been any of several pairings:
1. cancer in 2020, and cancer in 2021
2. cancer in 2020, and heart trouble in 2021
3. cancer and heart trouble, both in 2021
4. cancer in 2021, compounded by covid either before or after it
5. heart trouble in 2021, compounded by covid either before or after it
If covid was a factor, a very natural reason for not wanting that known is because someone Charlie knew, maybe even a family member, may have infected him, and everyone would want to spare that person more heartache.
Of course we may never know which two things comprised the "double whammy." And that's fine. We don't need to.

The "small" size of his estate was surprising. I would have expected to see 2 to 3 times the size.

Perhaps a sizeable portion was already in Shirley's name? Also, no song writing royalties.

I normally wouldn't pay any attention whatsoever to anything that is printed in The Sun.
It does mention his sister on his Wikipedia page though.

Bakerboy, that is a real nice story: Obviously we both are in a similar age - and boy: If Charlie Watts had sent me something in the nineties I would have been over the moon. Congratulations to you, a great memory.

In 2007, third O2 Arena concert, I was sitting next to a lady (and her son) who turned out to be Charlie's aunt. We had a brief, but nice conversation, but I never felt like "publishing" it. I still don't, but what I liked was that she told me that Charlie always dropped by her house when on his bycicle heading to the Rolling Stones rehearsals (I'm talking about the 1963 - early 1964 period). The reason he did so was that his aunt always made him a great, tasty sandwich to take along.

Of course Charlie is worth way, way more than 30 million...
